Why We Love
Children!
1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer
evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my
5-year-old shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!"
2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a
note from his mother. The note
read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those
of his parents."
3) KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she
asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to
you right now. She's hitting the
bottle."
4) MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the
women's locker room. When he was
spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and
running for cover. The little boy
watched in amazement and then asked, "What's the matter, haven't you
ever seen a little boy before?"
5) POLICE # 1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school,
I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she
asked, "Are you a cop?" "Yes,"
I answered and continued writing the report. "My
mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that
right?" "Yes,
that's right," I told her. "Well,
then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you
please tie my shoe?"
6) POLICE # 2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of
the station. As I gathered my
equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy
staring in at me "Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked. "It sure is," I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and
then towards the back of the van. Finally
he said, "What'd he do?"
7) ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to
elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon
rounds. She was unfailingly
intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes,
walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring
at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the
inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
"The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
8) DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo,
she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit." And why not,
darling?" "You
know that it always gives you a headache the next morning."
9) DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our
minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates
had found a dead robin. Feeling that
proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton
batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the
appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what
he thought his father always said:
Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.
10) SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she
said to her mother. "I can't read,
I can't write and they won't let me talk!"
11) BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through
the old pages. Suddenly, something fell
out of the Bible. He picked up the
object and looked at it. What he saw was
an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy
called put. "What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's
voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear."
